There are third party proxy packages that can map larger application
screens, even parts of different displays into smaller handheld screens,
so you can create a simple, intelligable workflow for the handhelds and
the proxy server uses that to drive the original application. I know
that Intermec RF Controllers provide such a function (at additional cost
of course) and I turned up others while investigating the idea years
ago, but I can't remember any particulars.

Of course, in the end we just wrote custom bits, with smaller screens,
for handheld use.
